The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-12-11

"Fhere has been a fair business for the short
session on the market, with generally firm
tone indicated, and an advance of points well
maintained to the close. A more favorable
puonc report from Liverpool indorsing yester-
Gay private accounts, and the latter still
coming cheerful, coupled with an indication of
smaller receipts, infused strength, and induced
shorts TO cover quite promptly, with little as
Slstance obtained by the local bull element.
Some New Orleans buying orders came in, but,
aside from that, there was not much outside de-
mand."

CHICAGO Dec. 10.-There were reports of a
cold wave in the wheat belt at the opening of
Change to-day May wheat opened at $3.50,
but Immediately sold off to S514c, which was a
tribe below what it closed last night. May corn
opened 4c higher at 555sc, and sold imme-
diately at 541ac.. Pork opened higher at S14 80
for January, and very light receipts of hogs at
the yards. The government report, which was
incomplete, had a bearish effect on the market,
and this feeling was helped along by the report
that Ferry had been assassinated. May wheat
sold down to $3.50 by 1880 O'Clock. the decline
heng helped along by the weakness in corn. At
1890 it was fairly steady at SIC. The great de-
pressing influence in corn was the large esti-
mated receipts for Monday. When they were
made known it dropped to SIC for May. Provis-
ions reacted trife after the bear crowd stopped
selling.
